I own both the G-Dec 30 and the newer G-Dec 3 30. Gotta agree with Loren on this one. It took me a little while to warm up to the GDEC 3 but I love it now... The SD card slot and being able to connect to FUSE via USB to the PC are just two really great features.

I love being able to put the SD card in the slot on my computer and drop MIDI, WAV, or MP3 files on the card and then slide the SD card out of the PC and right into the G-DEC 3 30.

In my opinion there are only 2 weaknesses in the G-DEC 3 30 when compared to the older G-DEC 30.

1) The older model allowed QA settings to be stored for each song. Add a foot-switch and you could quickly change between presets selected for that individual song on the fly... Unfortunately, the G-DEC 3 30 will allow you to configure the QA's but they are global not individualized per song. So, I never find use for the foot switch any more and I truly miss this feature.

2) The GDEC 30 had a song list feature that I miss on the newer GDEC 3 30. - But then again, I don't perform much so this is not a major one for me...

So, which one do I love? Well I love them BOTH. They both like my kids. Different and special in their own way...

Which one do I end up playing the most? The newer G-DEC 3 because I love the connectivity of the SD card and using FUSE via USB...

Peace and good music,
:)
